[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 13380556, member: 6247"] If you have Brembo F-50 calipers it really doesn't make sense to have a GT 500 rotor. Mainly because the GT 500 has such a tall brake pad surface due to the much taller brake pad on the GT 500. The F-50 Brembo caliper has a much shorter braking surface. This shorter braking surface equates to a significantly lighter rotor because it has a much larger diameter hat which is where the weight savings comes in. I'm not even sure the GT 500 and the 14" Brembo Gran Turismo brake conversion kit even have the same off set. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure they are not the same. I can check though. Our SN-95 14" front heavy duty road race rotor and hat assembly weighs less than 19#. Our street rotor and hat assembly are less than 16# each. The one pc OEM 14" GT 500 rotor is over 25# each. That's a significant difference in unsprung weight and rotating mass. [/QUOTE]
